"There will be surprises and riches in store; just when you think you’ve got Paul’s measure, he chuckles and forces you to read a passage you thought you knew well in quite a different light". (From the Preface)

N.T. Wright, Bishop of Durham, scholar and writer of distinction, turns his attention and considerable enthusiasm to the writings of Paul of Tarsus, whom he considers to be the intellectual equivalent of Plato, Aristotle or Seneca. He captures and reveals illuminating details from Paul’s unique Judaic, Hellenistic and Roman heritage, allowing a rounded picture to emerge of an integrated philosophy - a unique, Christian theology.

Paul: Fresh Perspectives combines the virtues of detailed scholarship with an accessible style and a passion for exploring the message of Paul. The book is based on the prestigious Hulsean Lectures given by the author in Cambridge in spring 2005.
